- Nautilus internals - by Alex Larsson (NEW!)
-
Nautilus is the official file manager and desktop shell for the
GNOME desktop. This paper will give an overview of the design and
implementation of Nautilus and some parts of the GNOME platform
that it relies on. I will also give concrete pointers to interesting
parts of the sources for developers who wish to hack on Nautilus,
or just learn more about it. This paper requires a basic understanding
of how Nautilus works from the user side, and basic knowledge of GNOME
programming.
